[F]or the first several years the SAT was offered, males scored higher than females on the Math section but females achieved higher scores on the Verbal section. ETS policy-makers determined that the Verbal test needed to be “balanced” more in favor of males, and added questions pertaining to politics, business and sports to the Verbal portion. Since that time, males have outscored females on both the Math and Verbal sections. Dwyer notes that no similar effort has been made to “balance” the Math section, and concludes that, “It could be done, but it has not been, and I believe that probably an unconscious form of sexism underlies this pattern. When females show the superior performance, ‘balancing’ is required; when males show the superior performance, no adjustments are necessary.”

“Gender Bias in College Admissions Tests”, FairTest.org. (via vaginawoolf) We were told our English Lang GCSEs were often about sport or politics because boys often underperformed in that exam. I can’t even fathom the number of things wrong with this kind of thinking. (via benedictatorship) i don’t understand how this is “unconscious” they saw numbers of both males and females and only made adjustments for the males. that is pretty damn blatant and conscious to me.

This is why gender-neutral bathrooms are necessary.
That stupid therapist I saw was all, “Think about bathrooms, for instance. There’s MALE and there’s FEMALE. There is no OTHER,” as she tried to pressure me to just make up my mind between male and female. Her tone indicated that she thought this was all so obvious and even funny.
And I was like FUCK YOU.
But really I just said, angrily, “And that’s why people get beaten up.”My school has a gender neutral bathroom. Sometimes I want to shake other high schools by the shoulders and just say, “IT’S REALLY NOT THAT HARD.”
That’s because your school is literally the best school.
A couple of weeks ago, Serah took initiative in helping our dear friend Anyaa of thosefuckingangels get out of her situation. With a lot being transmitted, not a lot was received. I am striving to rectify this.
Anyaa is the sweetest person I know. She never…
